Could this be used in truck bed with ease or is only well suited for carrier rack?

I don't know how you would tie it down but it could work if you could find a way to do it.

It should as it is designed to fit any "basket" with a platform larger than 59" long by 18.5" wide by 24" high.

The rack is pretty much universal. As long as you have room on top of the bed rail, about 2 inches, it will work. You won't, however be able to put the tonneau cover back on. The only down side I see is that you have to drill holes in the bed rail to secure the rack. I would rate it a 9 out of 10. A good product.

We bought this specifically to haul a trailer. It just happens to work well with a bike rack even though that was not the intended use for our purchase.

It is expands tall , and probably have wind drag, it is collapsible so it can be tide to roof rack but wouldn't advise it . Very convient and easily accessible to use with cargo carrier

I bought this to remove and return my fifth wheel hitch into the bed of the truck. It is heavy, but its a breeze to quickly assemble and the weight isn't a factor. I've used this to load my truck with heavy pallets and other large items. Get a good set of lifting slings as well and you will find this crane very handy.

I use it to haul dog crates and use bungee cords so they don't fall off. It is very thin on the bottom. You might have to slightly tip the front up to get it started but I think it would work.

Yes, it is designed to be used with the cleats in the bed of the truck so the cab type doesn't matter.

Not sure. It's only been in the bed of my truck. I could load solo but that would be tough in a roof rack.

You could try it. If it doesn't work, you'll have a great double sided tape for other tasks! I suppose it depends if the truck bed liner is really bowing away from the truck body. I wouldn't rely on tape to pull in and hold back a bowing truck bed liner. If the liner is straight and you just want to have it snug agains the body, this stuff would probably work in temperate climates. Good luck!!

It can be used anywhere there is a flat surface. It is designed for the top of a car. I am sure it would easily lay in the bed of a truck. If it is a flat bed this item must be securely strapped in to prevent it from sliding around or falling off.

Hi! As specified in the warranty guidelines, we cannot recommend the installation of the carrier on said location. The racks are designed for standard vehicle hitches of 1 1/4 to 2 inch in size. Thank you!

The beam you see that is attached to the hitch can be slid back and forth easily. The only problem you might have to solve is getting clearance for the legs under the crane. As designed, it easily loads items into the center of the truck bed, and can be moved out toload into the edge of the bed. It pretty much covers it all. If you want to mount in the actual center of the bed, you need the "pick-up"style crane that has a flat mount plate to bolt to the truck floor.

I doubt the rack would fit with a retractable cover on the truck. If the cover has a rail that runs the length of the bed on the inside, my thought is that the rail would interfere with the installation of the rack.

Provided the truck bed is standard size the small Spider Gear is big enough by far. We've used ours numerous times. It is very well constructed. Highly recommend.

Since the front tire is not removed for this type of carrier, if your bike is longer than the truck bed then I don't think it would work

If you are using a Trailer Hitch style carries as shown in the photo it should be fine. If you are putting it on your roof rack you will need full support under it. I drive a Chevy Traverse and have a carrier that is 60" wide. This thing is made of heavy material and plenty waterproof, but it doesn't have a support system of its own.

This is a very stout and heavy piece. It's not appropriate as a towing extension but should be fine for a cargo carrier. My bike rack is about 50lb itself. Add two mountain bikes and your up to 150lb total. Handles this very easily.
